840 Chapter 34 Working With Video
Handling QuickTime Movie Audio Tracks
Once a movie has been opened in a project, you can make use of the Import Audio
from Movie, or Export Audio to Movie commands—found in the Options > Movie
menu.
You can adjust the audio level and output device in the Video project settings (see
“Changing the Sound Output Device and Level” on page 842).
Importing Audio Tracks From QuickTime Movies
Choose Options > Movie > Import Audio from Movie to open a dialog that allows you
to select the desired audio tracks of the movie file.
Once you’ve made your selection, and clicked OK, the selected audio tracks will be
bounced to an AIFF file, and placed in the Audio Bin. The movie name will be retained,
and used for the resulting audio files.
Note: When extracting audio from a movie file that only contains a single audio track,
the selection dialog is made redundant. Use of the Import Audio from Movie command
will automatically import the audio (as an AIF file), and add it to the Audio Bin.
You can also use the Options > Movie > Import Audio to Arrange function, which
places the extracted audio (as a region) on the selected Arrange window track.
Exporting Audio to QuickTime Movie
You can export audio from the part of your project that is encompassed by the
QuickTime movie—to the movie file itself—effectively overwriting the original movie
soundtrack. This is useful for sending a rough mix of your film soundtrack to other
members of the production team, for example.
To export your project to the QuickTime movie:
1 Choose Options > Movie > Export Audio to Movie.
